DSM Plugin wont generate Key

Post by daly29 »

Hi Could anyone please help

I have installed the DSM plugin as directed in all articles even the latest version 122.

When I generate a new key nothing happens. I have gone through all the forum help on where to look for the Key file but it is nowhere on my PC I have searched all folders and files but it seems that a key has not been generated.

help please

generate the key from the vncviewer
if you won't have changed the key name. the key is new_rc4.key found to %windir%\system32\
then found it, you need to rename it to rc4.key then copy this key to your vnc serveur by usb storage.

going to be fixed :-) to be generated to ultravnc folder.

search ... more advanced options.
[v] Search system folders
[v]Search hidden files and folders

Hi Moescarpe,

Have you tried to look for in all drives such as:

Code: Select all

1. C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\
2. C:\Program Files\ULTRAVNC\
3. C:\Program Files\ORL\VNC\
Or in your current installation of your VNC Folder. If you did not install it in regular path, you need to check all the folders and sub folders.

Try to rename "new_rc4.key" to "new_rc4[yourname].key" then perform FIND or Search.

If this is not good, then try to reinstall your software with the current release one.

HTH :)

Edit: Also, it would be good if you use VNC "VIEWER" to generate the key file.

I had looked in the installation folders and I did a search of my computer and could not find it.

After reading your post, I reinstalled VNC and tried again to no avail. Then I installed the 1.04 version and tried again. This time I actually got a message that said that GenerateKey failed.

I'm more confused now than before. I think I'm going to try it again with the 1.02 version.

If you can offer anymore help i'd be crazy-appreciative.

I think you try on win98 or nt4 and need the 128bit pack for allow generation 128 new_rc4.key... then rename generate key as rc4.key

difficult to help more than I give solution, we don't know your OS !!!!!

I just tried again on limited account

vncviewer
I hope you had selected [v] Use DSMPlugin: msr4dsmplugin ... Config
new_rc4.key
select 128 bit
press Gen Key... OK
